David’s wife, Shaz, said: “I’m delighted that the Walk of Hope was such a success and that so many people turned out to help us fundraise. Many of us are inspired by David’s memory but we are also walking in honour of the hundreds of thousands of people who suffer daily from this disease. We can’t sit back and let this situation continue.”
